Letters Patent No. 107,168, dated September 6, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN LOQM-TEMPLE.

The Schedule referred to in these 'Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all persons to whom these presents 'may comm.

Be it known that I, WARREN W. Dn'rcunln'of Hopedale, of the county of Worcester and State 0i' Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Loom- Temple; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and repre sented in the accompanying drawing, ot' which;-l

Figure 1 is a top view;

Figure 2 is an under-side or bottom view; and

Figui-e3 isvan inner side elevation ot' such -ternple.

' Figure 4 is a transverse section, taken through the clamp-screw and nut by which the temple-arm earrier is held to the adjustable bracket, tobe hereinafter described.

The temple in question is what is usually termeda A reciprocating roller temple, it being somewhat an alogous to the temple, shown in figs. l and 2 ot' the drawing of the United States Patent- No. 9,502, granted to Elihu Dutcher and myself on the 28th day ot' December, A D. 1852, and subsequently extended fora term of seven years beyond the original term of fourteen years.

In vthe patented temple, the arm was constructed in two pieces or bals, like the radins and'hnmerus ot' a human arm, pivoted together and having a spring at the pivot.

The toothed roller case was fixed 'tothe free end of' one ot such bars and there extended from the other at a right angle with'it or tllerabout, a slotted projection.

This construction of the temple is objectionable for use in various looms,.as it requires the temple to be supported ou the top of the breast-beam ofthe loom, and causes it to be in the way, not only of the attendant ot' the loom, but of the application of certain stop-nzotions.

Itis very desirable to have a swinging arm temple applicable to the inner side of the breast-bram, in order not only to avoid the inconveniences and objections incident to the slide temple, but to get itmostly beneath the cloth, and enable it to .be easily adjusted so as to bring the roller and its case into their correct relation with the cloth and lay.

My new or improved temple, which Ishall now proceed to describe, has these necessary qualiiications to an eminent degree, and, besides, combines therewith those ot' great durability, as well as of ease in operation.

1n making the said improved temple, I have entirely dispensed with one ot the bars'ot' the temple arm, employing but one bar, A, 'for-such arm, the

temple roller case B being connected to suchvarms by means of screws a a going through slots b b in the arm.

at c as extended from the arm A.

.The said arm A at its rear end is flat, and provided with two stops or shoulders d e, arranged as represented in tig. 2, the arm near one of such shoulders, viz.: that marked d being pivotechtp acari-ier or plate, O, by a screw or pivot, e', going through both the arm and the carrier.

The said carrier has a stop,- f, projected from it for the shoulder d to abut against.

A helical spring, y, arranged in a socketed part, h, of the carrier, bears at one end against the shoulder e.

Furthermore, the carrier C so made and applied to the arm A is supported in a bracket, D,.and is con- -nected thereto by a screw, fi, and a nnt,\k, the screw .going through a slot, l, formed inthe bracket, and ar ranged therein at a rightv angle with two other slots,

mm, made in thev vert-ical plate n of the bracket,

The said bracket may be said to be composed of a horizontal plate, o, and a vertical plate, n. arranged ata right angle to each other, and united at one edge cf each, the whole being as represented inthe drawing.

In fixing the temple to a breast beam ot' a loom,

the vertical part n of the bracket is to be-arranged against the inner side of such breast-beam, and bc held thereto by screw-bolts going through the slots m m.

From the above it will be seen that by thev peculiar construction, arrangement, and` vconnection of the parts ofthe improved temple, and the mode described of applying and fixing it to the breast-beam, it is rendered capable ot' adjustment, both lengthwise and laterally of the loom, so as to bring the Vtemple roller case to its 'proper situation for receiving the cloth, which will be free to pass entirely over the temple-arm. No part of the improved templeis liable, by the lay, to be forced back against an attendant, or to come in the way of the stop-motion.

I claim as my invention--v v The adj nstable bracket D, the templearm carrier O, the clamp-nut 7c, and screw t, the pivoted temple arm A, the stops d ef, and spring g, all constructed and arranged as hereiubeire described;
